Hosting

Hi, I need to live stream 1 lecture per week to a very limited amount of people (roughly 20). Can anyone give me the best source for hosting. Meaning where should I host FMS and where should I host the site contents?

I dont have much money, just wanted to take the cheapest route possible.

Thank you.

    Well that's easy, you can use Adobe Flash Server on Amazon Web Services

    - http://www.adobe.com/products/flashmediaserver/amazonwebservices/

    Adobe charge $5 / month + $5 startup. Then for every hour you are active it will cost you $0.50.

    Alternatively you can run Red5 on Amazon Web Services, which would cost you just $0.50 for every hour you are active (although you can go for a cheaper $0.01/hour EC2 instance).

    If you can afford you can buy Streaming Server Edition if you can afford - it should cost you around 995 dollars. But if you cannot i would suggest you can check if there is any good service provider who can do streaming on your behalf - some of them have different plans to offer and you can choose which fits your bill best.
